Janjivan Bureau / Rae Bareli:Questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the road construction by the Chinese in Doklam, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi asked the PM if he was done “thumping” his chest. The development came to the fore five weeks after India and China stepped away from a standoff at Doklam on the Sikkim border. Around 1,000 Chinese troops are still present on the plateau, which is approximately 800 metres from the faceoff site.“Modiji, once you’re done thumping your chest, could you please explain this?” Gandhi wrote on Twitter, tagging a news report on China’s road expansion efforts in Doklam. The 73-day Doklam standoff, which started on June 16, led to intense tension between India and China.
Rahul Gandhi today held discussions with party workers here on strengthening the organisation before wrapping up his three- day visit to his Lok Sabha constituency Amethi.
Party workers belonging to Salon assembly segment as well as those belonging to Rae Bareli met Gandhi, the party’s Amethi unit spokesman Anil Singh said.
“He (Gandhi) discuseed the various problems faced by the people as well as ways and means for further strengthening the party organisation,” Singh said.
Besides the workers, party MP Sanjay Singh and former MLA Amita Singh also met Gandhi before he left for Delhi, the spokesman added. Gandhi, who arrived in Amethi on October 4, has been targeting the BJP governments at the Centre and as well as in Uttar Pradesh over various issues.
